| 20090094071 | METHOD FOR PROCESSING INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUESTS - A method for processing insurance coverage requests. An insurance data processing system (IDPS) receives at least one request from a customer relating to insurance coverage for the customer. Each request independently requests activation or deactivation of the insurance coverage. The requests are ordered in a time sequence if the at least one request includes more than one request. The IDPS verifies, for each request received, that it is permissible for the IDPS to accommodate each request. After each request is verified, the IDPS archives each request in a non-volatile storage medium of the IDPS. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20090109881 | VOICE AND DATA EXCHANGE OVER A PACKET BASED NETWORK - A signal processing system which discriminates between voice signals and data signals modulated by a voiceband carrier. The signal processing system includes a voice exchange, a data exchange and a call discriminator. The voice exchange is capable of exchanging voice signals between a switched circuit network and a packet based network. The signal processing system also includes a data exchange capable of exchanging data signals modulated by a voiceband carrier on the switched circuit network with unmodulated data signal packets on the packet based network. The data exchange is performed by demodulating data signals from the switched circuit network for transmission on the packet based network, and modulating data signal packets from the packet based network for transmission on the switched circuit network. The call discriminator is used to selectively enable the voice exchange and data exchange. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20080300834 | GRAPH-BASED MODELING APPARATUS AND TECHNIQUES - Graph-based modeling apparatus and techniques are disclosed. Based on a model including model nodes that represent components of a modeled system, operational dependencies between model nodes, and model edges that interconnect the nodes and represent relationships between the components in the modeled system, subset computations are performed to compute subsets of the model nodes that can impact operational dependencies between other model nodes. When the model changes, a determination is made as to whether an incremental subset computation should be performed for one or more particular operational dependencies between model nodes in the changed model, and if so, an incremental subset computation is performed. Otherwise, a full subset computation or no subset computation might be performed. In this manner, model changes are considered on a case-by-case basis to determine an extent, if any, to which subsets should be re-computed. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20100155062 | Use Of A Heavy Petroleum Fraction As A Drive Fluid In The Recovery of Hydrocarbons From A Subterranean Formation - A process is disclosed for using heavy petroleum fraction as a drive fluid in the recovery of hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation. The hydrocarbons may be in the form of bitumen or heavy oil. The heavy petroleum fraction may be injected into at least one injection well and hydrocarbons produced out of at least one distinct production well. The heavy petroleum fraction may be co-injected together with steam and/or hot water and/or solvent. The heavy petroleum fraction may be a heavy fraction of a process used to upgrade crude oil, such as a heavy asphaltene fraction produced from solvent deasphalting crude oil produced by this recovery process. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110198086 | Hydrate Control In A Cyclic Solvent-Dominated Hydrocarbon Recovery Process - The present invention relates generally to in situ hydrate control during hydrocarbon production when applying a recovery method utilizing cyclic injection of light hydrocarbon solvents. Hydrate formation is limited by creating an energy reserve within a hydrocarbon reservoir adjacent to the wellbore. A heated solvent is injected during an injection phase of a cyclic solvent dominated recovery process to form a heated region adjacent to the wellbore at the end of an injection cycle. The energy reserve is used to act against the evaporative cooling effect caused by subsequent production and associated depressurization to maintain reservoir conditions outside of hydrate formation conditions. In situ conditions are estimated and injected energy amounts are controlled. | 08-18-2011 |

| 20100114619 | CUSTOMIZED TRANSFORMATION OF FREE-FORM BUSINESS CONCEPTS TO SEMANTICALLY RICH BUSINESS MODELS - A computer-implemented method for transforming a free-form process diagram into a semantically rich business model based on heuristics. The method includes generating and storing predefined mappings between informal elements to be used in a free-form process diagram and formal elements associated with a semantically rich business model, in a storage medium, receiving a free-form process diagram to be transformed, automatically detecting and mapping the informal elements of the free-form process diagram to the stored predefined-mappings, automatically detecting and mapping connectors positioned between the informal elements of the free-form process diagram, and obtaining user input from a user for generating user-defined mappings for mapping unrecognizable informal elements of the free-form process diagram to formal elements and transforming the unrecognized informal elements into formal elements based on the user-defined mappings. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20090276381 | SOCIAL KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM CONTENT QUALITY - Techniques for automatically scoring submissions to an online question-and-answer submission system are disclosed. According to one such technique, an initial set of user submissions are scored by human operators and/or automated algorithmic mechanisms. The submissions and their accompanying scores are provided as training data to an automated machine learning mechanism. The machine learning mechanism processes the training data and automatically detects patterns in the provided submissions. The machine learning mechanism automatically correlates these patterns with the scores assigned to the submissions that match those patterns. As a result, the machine learning mechanism is trained. Thereafter, the machine learning mechanism processes unscored submissions. The machine learning mechanism automatically identifies, from among the patterns that the machine learning mechanism has already detected, one or more patterns that these submissions match. The machine learning mechanism automatically scores these submissions based on the matching patterns and the scores that are associated with those patterns. | 11-05-2009 |
